Sometimes, in family life, the past lingers. Old wounds, neglected tensions, or patterns passed down from earlier generations may be asking for attention. Hexagram 18 reminds us: what has been spoiled can be healed—but not without care.
This is a time to name what has been avoided. Not with blame, but with honesty. Clean the roots so the tree can grow tall.
Healing in the family is rarely sudden. It comes in brave conversations, steady forgiveness, and new choices repeated day by day.
The house does not collapse from one cracked stone—but over time, it must be repaired if we are to dwell in it peacefully.
